To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL O. KINDIG, a citizen of the United States,residin at Baltimore, in the State of Maryland, vented a new and usefulClosure for Bottles, Jars, &c., of which the following is aspecification;

This invention relates to improvements in closures for bottles, jars,&c.

The object of the invention is to provide a simple, cheap, and efficientclosure which may readily be secured upon the bottle, jar, &c., to sealthe same, aiid whichcan be easily removed when it is desired to unsealthe vessel to which it is secured.

The invention consists of the new and novel construction and arrangementof the parts jections 5 equi istant are as hereinafter more fully setforth in the following specification, and pointed out in the claims. I

In the accompanying drawings, Fi e 1 is a to plan view of theottle-neck. ig. 2 is a si e elevation of a bottle, showing my inventiona plied thereto. Fig. 3 is a plan view of t e sealing-disk before havingthe projections bent downward] Fig. 4 is a side elevation of thesealing-disk, showing the projections bent downwardly.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this;specification and in which similar reference-numerals designate likeparts throughout the several views, 1 designates the bottle-neck, whichis provided with three lugs 2 at its upper end arranged eguidistantaround the periphery of the neck 0 the bottle. These lugs 2 have theirouter surfaces inclined outwardly from the upper ens, forming a lockingshoulder 3 at the lower on The metal ca 4 is stamped with three rod theperip ery thereof. These pro'ections 5 are bent down at right angles tot e cap and are provided with apertures 6, through which the In s 2 ofthe bottle-neck roject when the cap is asked on the bottle. he lower endof each of the projections 5 is bent outwardly, so that the nger or toolmay be inserted back of the said PIOJBCtlOIl when it is desired toremove the cap. Between the upper edge of the bottle .1 and the ca 4 isa sealing-disk 7, of cork or other suitab 0 material.

The cap is secured to the bottle by placing the same in position withthe projections 5 ave in- 7 over the lugs 2 and forcing the cap downwhich causes the projections 5 to'he forcev outwardly until the ass thelower edge of the projections 2, w en the said projections wills ringover the lu s 2 and take under the shou ders 3 and lock t e cap securelyin position.

' The cap is removed by forcing the lower end of one of the Iprojections5 outwardly until it passes the ug 2, when the cap can he lifted fromthe vessel to which it is secured.

While I have shown three lugs 2 on the bottle and'three projections onthe cap 4, it is obvious any number may be employed on tions extendingdownwardly at right angles thereto and each having an a erture thereinand adapted to take over the u s on the hottle-neck and look the ca on te bottle the lower end of each of sai projections being bent outwardly.

2. The combination with a bottle having a plurality of lugs arrangedaround the periphery of its neck, and havin their outer faces inclinedoutwardl from t e to of the bottle-neck forming ooking-shoul ers attheir lower ends; of a cap having a plurality of projections extendingdownwar ly at right angles thereto and each having an a erture thereinand adapted to take over the ugs on the bottle-neck and lbck the cap onthe bottie, the lower end of each of said pro'ections being bentoutwardl and a sealing; isk between the bottle an cap. V

3. The combination with a bottle havin a pieralityof ln s arrangedaround the perip V ing bent outwardly and a sealing-disk between thebottle and cap.

4. The combination with a bottle having/a plurality of lugs arrangedequidistant around the outer edge of the neck, the outer surfaces ofsaid lugs being inclined outwardly from the up er edge of the neck,forming a lockingshouldgr at their lower ends, of a cap having aplurality of projections extending downwardly at right angles theretoand each having an aperture therein and adapted to take over the saidhi. gs on tl 1e bottle-neck and lock the cap to the bottle, the lowerend of each to of said projections being bent outwardly from the body ofthe bottle.
